the foundation of the practice as practitioners, students, teachers, is to be gentle. this approach of friendliness toward ourselves and our practice may be contrary to how we are used to relating to ourselves and our world, which can often be quite aggressive.

over time, this seemingly simple approach has a profound influence in our lives off the cushion as well.

are we tired of beating ourselves and others up?

give some gentleness a shot ❤️🙏🏻
